Tina Connan | Child Counseling | School Related Issues | Family Problems | Therapy for Children

Are you having trouble communicating with your child or adolescent?

Are his/her grades dropping?

Does there seem to be a wall between you and your child?

Does your child seem anxious, depressed or just different than before?

If so, then I would like to help!

Parenting a child is without a doubt one of the toughest jobs we have. It takes a lot of patience, understanding, love, support and knowledge to raise a child especially once they become teenagers! Chances are, even if you possess all of those traits and knowledge, parenting a teenager still can be very difficult at times. That is where I come in. I will teach you how to speak so that your child/adolescent will listen. I will empower you to be the one who sets the rules in your household. I will teach you the importance of consistency so that parenting becomes easier, rather than harder. I will work with your child and teach him/her to stand up for what they believe in, increase their self-esteem, add tools to their proverbial toolbox filled with coping skills and strategies and offer them non-judgemental support that will allow them to unlock their full potential.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you and your child lead a life that is worth celebrating each and every day. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying cognitive behavioral therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you and them back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

I am available for face-to-face sessions in my Central Boca Raton office or via email, webcam or telephone nationwide! Please contact me for an individual, couple or family therapy consultation today. Also please visit www.bocawomencare.com for additional information on women's issues.
